We introduce a class of Falconer distance problems, which we call of restricted type, lying between the classical version and its pinned variant. Prototypical restricted distance sets are the diagonal distance sets, $k$-point configuration…

In this paper we provide an approximation \`a la Ambrosio-Tortorelli of some classical minimization problems involving the length of an unknown one-dimensional set, with an additional connectedness constraint, in dimension two. We introduce…

In this paper we study the generalized Erdos-Falconer distance problems in the finite field setting. The generalized distances are defined in terms of polynomials, and various formulas for sizes of distance sets are obtained. In particular,…

In this article, we solve the problem of the long time behaviour of transition probabilities of time-inhomogeneous Markov processes and give a unified approach to stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with periodic, quasi-periodic,…

We define a class of random measures, spatially independent martingales, which we view as a natural generalisation of the canonical random discrete set, and which includes as special cases many variants of fractal percolation and Poissonian…

The endpoint Strichartz estimate $\|e^{it\Delta} f\|_{L_t^2 L_x^\infty} \lesssim \|f\|_{L^2}$ is known to be false in two space dimensions. Taking averages spherically on the polar coordinates $x=\rho\omega$, $\rho>0$,…

Suppose $E, F$ are Borel sets in the plane, $\dim_{\mathcal{H}} E>1$, $\dim_{\mathcal{H}} E+\dim_{\mathcal{H}} F>2$, and $F$ has equal Hausdorff and packing dimension. We prove that there exists $y\in F$ such that the pinned distance set…

In this paper, we consider the following inhomogeneous nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation (INLS) \[ i\partial_t u + \Delta u + \mu |x|^{-b} |u|^\alpha u = 0, \quad (t,x)\in \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}^d \] with $b, \alpha>0$. First, we…

The Boyer-Finley equation, or $SU(\infty)$-Toda equation is both a reduction of the self-dual Einstein equations and the dispersionlesslimit of the $2d$-Toda lattice equation. This suggests that there should be a dispersive version of the…

We study restriction estimates in R^3 for surfaces given as graphs of W^1_1(R^2) (integrable gradient) functions. We obtain a "universal" L^2(mu) -> L^4(R^3, L^2(SO(3))) estimate for the extension operator f -> \hat{f mu} in three…

Given a locally compact, complete metric space $({\rm X},{\sf D})$ and an open set $\Omega\subseteq{\rm X}$, we study the class of length distances $\sf d$ on $\Omega$ that are bounded from above and below by fixed multiples of the ambient…

An improved lower bound is given for the decay of conical averages of Fourier transforms of measures, for cones of dimension $d \geq 4$. The proof uses a weighted version of the broad restriction inequality, a narrow decoupling inequality…

We study the generalization of the Falconer distance problem to the Riemannian setting. In particular, we extend the result of Guth-Iosevich-Ou-Wang for the distance set in the plane to general Riemannian surfaces. Key new ingredients…

An analog of the Falconer distance problem in vector spaces over finite fields asks for the threshold $\alpha>0$ such that $|\Delta(E)| \gtrsim q$ whenever $|E| \gtrsim q^{\alpha}$, where $E \subset {\Bbb F}_q^d$, the $d$-dimensional vector…

We consider the $n$-component $|\varphi|^4$ lattice spin model ($n \ge 1$) and the weakly self-avoiding walk ($n=0$) on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, in dimensions $d=1,2,3$. We study long-range models based on the fractional Laplacian, with spin-spin…

In this paper we prove, for all $d \ge 2$, that for no $s<\frac{d+1}{2}$ does $I_s(\mu)<\infty$ imply the canonical Falconer distance problem incidence bound, or the analogous estimate where the Euclidean norm is replaced by the norm…

We exhibit a range of $\ell ^{p}(\mathbb{Z}^d)$-improving properties for the discrete spherical maximal average in every dimension $d\geq 5$. The strategy used to show these improving properties is then adapted to establish sparse bounds,…

Let $\mu,\nu$ be Radon measures on $\mathbb{R}$, with $\mu$ non-atomic and $\nu$ doubling, and write $\mu = \mu_{a} + \mu_{s}$ for the Lebesgue decomposition of $\mu$ relative to $\nu$. For an interval $I \subset \mathbb{R}$, define…

For a positive finite Borel measure $\mu$ compactly supported in the complex plane, the space $\mathcal{P}^2(\mu)$ is the closure of the analytic polynomials in the Lebesgue space $L^2(\mu)$. According to Thomson's famous result, any space…

Consider an asymptotically Euclidean initial data set with a smooth marginally trapped surface (possibly a union of future and past multi-connected components) as inner boundary. By a further development of the spinorial framework…
